Great peanut butter cookie. More of the old fashioned variety (on the crunchy side) with a bit of a bite/chew in the middle. If you're looking for a soft chewy or cake-like cookie, this one's not for you. I like to add chocolate chips to this recipe. I also cut the butter in half, so used 1/4 c butter and 1/4 c peanut butter. The original recipe is too crumbly for my taste and would probably make an even crumblier cookie, so I took one reviewer's advice and added 1/4 c of milk. You could probably sub the milk with applesauce (great for baking and adding a soft cakelike consistency to your cookies), more peanut butter, or of course -- an egg.
